In-form Pedro Neto gave Chelsea the ideal start in the Group D clash, firing them ahead in the 13th minute.
But Enzo Maresca's side melted in the Philly heat after the break.
They conceded two quickfire goals to go behind, before Nicolas Jackson saw red for a horror lunge.
Wallace Yan secured the three points for the Brazilians with just seven minutes left on the clock.

And after the final whistle, Flamengo's X account decided to go for the jugular.
The club's official account wrote: "Easy win against London Blue!"
London Blue refers to Chelsea's infamous name in the Pro Evolution Soccer video game series.
Japanese publisher Konami were unable to secure the license for Premier League teams, resulting in alternative names for the clubs and players in the popular game.

One fan laughed in response: "World class cooking honestly."
Another said: "London Blue!!!!! LMAO."

While a third chuckled: "Oi they're calling them by their PES identity."
And a fourth added: "Redefined the overrated league in the world."
Maresca refused to defend Jackson after his reckless moment of madness on Friday.
The 24-year-old was sent off on his birthday - just FOUR minutes after entering the field as a sub.

Maresca told DAZN: "It was a red card. So nothing to say.
'Congratulations to them, they deserved to win.
"We tried to do something different, also for next season, for the future, but congratulations to them.
"I think they deserved it."

When Florian Wirtz could make Liverpool debut after completing £116m transfer

Liverpool have signed Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth up to £116million and the Germany international could make his debut as soon as next month Liverpool fans might not have to wait too long to see new signing Florian Wirtz in action after he completed his £116million move on Friday. Wirtz has become the club's new record signing, with the fee eclipsing the £85m they paid for Darwin Nunez in 2022, and will also break the British transfer record if all the add-ons are hit. Liverpool have paid Bayer Leverkusen an initial £100m, with a further £16m due if certain individual and team targets are met. Wirtz will now join up with his new teammates when they return to pre-season training on July 7. ‌ And his first appearance for Liverpool could come on July 13 when they take on Preston North End in their first pre-season match at Deepdale. They are also set to face AC Milan in Hong Kong on July 26, Yokohama F Marinos in Japan on July 30 and Athletic Bilbao at Anfield on August 4. ‌ Wirtz could make his official debut for the Reds on August 10 when they take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the Community Shield at Wembley, while his Premier League debut will likely come on August 15 when Liverpool host Bournemouth. Speaking after his move to Liverpool was completed, Wirtz said: " I feel very happy and very proud. Finally it's done and I was waiting for a long time – finally it's done and I am really happy. "I'm really excited to have a new adventure in front of me. This was also a big point of my thoughts: that I want to have something completely new, to go out of the Bundesliga and to join the Premier League. "I will see how I can perform there. I hope I can do my best. I spoke also with some players who played there and they told me that it's perfect for me and every pitch is perfect, you can enjoy every game. I'm really looking forward to playing my first game. "I'm not coming (to) have fun here, I want also to achieve something and give the fans what they deserve. Of course I want to keep going at this performance. So yeah, that sure gives motivation to achieve more. ‌ "I would like to win everything every year. First of all, we have to do our work, I have to make my work. In the end, we want to be successful. "Last season they won the Premier League, so my goal is for sure to win it again and also to go further in the Champions League. I'm really ambitious."

Inter Milan vs Urawa Reds prediction, odds and betting offer

Inter Milan are still finding their feet under new boss Christian Chivu as the Serie A club look to pick up their first win under their gaffer when they face Urawa Red Diamond Inter Milan are navigating a rocky path in the Club World Cup, still feeling the aftershocks of their Champions League setback. Their recent European outing ended in a resounding 5-0 defeat to PSG, and to compound their troubles, manager Simone Inzaghi has left for Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal. Cristian Chivu, stepping up as the new head coach, faced a challenging debut, managing only a 1-1 draw against Monterrey. Expectations were high for a straightforward win, but it was Lautaro Martinez who saved the day with an equaliser after they initially fell behind. Now, Inter find themselves in a must-win situation against Urawa Red Diamonds. The Japanese team is seen as the underdog, especially following their 3-1 loss to River Plate. Despite their current vulnerability, Inter Milan still have the talent advantage over Urawa. If they approach the match with focus and determination, they should be able to secure the crucial three points needed to keep their tournament hopes alive.

Sundowns vs Dortmund prediction, odds and betting offer

Bundesliga giants Dortmund will be looking to secure their first win when they face Mamelodi Sundowns in the Club World Cup Borussia Dortmund are eager to notch their first group stage victory in the Club World Cup as they face Mamelodi Sundowns at TQL Stadium on Saturday evening. The Bundesliga side is coming off a goalless draw against Fluminense, a result that leaves Niko Kovac's team with plenty to prove in their remaining Group F matches. Despite being favourites, Dortmund must be wary of Mamelodi Sundowns, who have already made their mark in the group. The South African champions secured an impressive 1-0 victory over Ulsan, putting them in a strong position early on. Miguel Cardoso's squad now stands on the brink of advancing to the knockout stages. A win this weekend in Ohio would almost guarantee their progression, allowing them to approach their final group game with confidence. Dortmund, meanwhile, will be looking to assert their dominance and get back on track with a much-needed win.
